consumer cards

Explanation:
Note that these will be 'cards' if destined for use in computers, for example (sound card, video card, etc.), but in UK (not US!) usage, might conceivably be 'boards' if being used in other context.

Please also note that it should be 'wound components' (not coiled'!) — unless something very specific in your context dictates otherwise?

general purpose pcb's

Explanation:
The "cartes" referred to here on general sale to the "grand public" are for eg. computer add-ons such as wireless cards or graphics cards. Some would probably include small inductors (bobines) for one use or another. Sometimes called cards, sometimes boards, or sometimes just pcb (printed circuit board)
